Anaesthetic residents used bag valve mask (BVM) or mouth mask (MM) ventilation, both with an O2 flow of 15 l min-1 to ventilate 30 ASA I or II anaesthetised patients for 4 min prior to endotracheal intubation. Mean nasopharyngeal O2 was higher with BVM (BVM 95% (S.D. 3%) MM 54% (S.D. 12%)). End tidal CO2 (ETCO2) was similar in both groups (ETCO2% at 4 min: BVM 4.65 (S.D. 0.84) MM 4.53 (S.D. 0.54)) but respiratory rate was faster with BVM (BVM 17 min-1 (S.D. 5) MM 12 min-1 (S.D. 4)). Peak (Paw) and mean (Paw) airway pressures were higher with MM and MM produced significant expiratory pressure [cmH2O: BVM Paw 16.7 (S.D. 5.3) Paw 4.2 (S.D. 2.1) MM: Paw 20.9 (S.D. 5.2) Paw 7.8 (S.D. 2.1)) minimum expiratory pressure: MM 2.4 (S.D. 1.1) BVM 0.2 (S.D. 0.4). Gastric insufflation was detected in two MM and two BVM patients. This tended to be more severe with MM ventilation. Although MM ventilation has some important disadvantages it can be used effectively by resuscitators with little or no experience in its use.

Maturation inhibitors (MIs) block HIV-1 maturation by preventing the cleavage of the capsid protein and spacer peptide 1 (CA-SP1). Bevirimat (BVM), a first-in-class MI, displayed sub-optimal efficacy in clinical trials due to presence of SP1:V7A polymorphism in the Gag protein.This polymorphism is inherently present in HIV-1 subtype C and conferred resistance to BVM.

When rendering the visual scene for near-eye head-mounted displays, accurate knowledge of the geometry of the displays, scene objects, and eyes is required for the correct generation of the binocular images. Despite possible design and calibration efforts, these quantities are subject to positional and measurement errors, resulting in some misalignment of the images projected to each eye. Previous research investigated the effects in virtual reality (VR) setups that triggered such symptoms as eye strain and nausea.

Objectives: Following cardiac surgery, patients often require ventilatory support during transport to the intensive care unit (ICU). Manual ventilation using a bag valve mask (BVM) is commonly employed; however, mechanical ventilation may sometimes be preferred due to concerns regarding oxygenation, ventilation, and hemodynamic stability. The decision between manual and mechanical ventilation is typically based on clinical experience and surgical factors, as there is no established consensus or robust clinical evidence to guide this choice.

Rationale: Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) M2-positive myositis can lead to severe respiratory failure. Traditional immunotherapies sometimes fail to address respiratory failure. Herein, this CARE-compliant case report described a patient with AMA-M2-positive myositis who recovered from ventilation with tracheostomy owing to immunotherapy-resistant respiratory failure to spontaneous breathing after modified lung volume recruitment (mLVR) therapy.

Introduction: Passive oxygenation with non-rebreather face mask (NRFM) has been used during cardiac arrest as an alternative to positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with bag-valve-mask (BVM) to minimize chest compression disruptions. A dual-channel pharyngeal oxygen delivery device (PODD) was created to open obstructed upper airways and provide oxygen at the glottic opening. It was hypothesized for this study that the PODD can deliver oxygen as efficiently as BVM or NRFM and oropharyngeal airway (OPA) in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikin model.
